I combined it with a patchwork pattern using die cuts. As I said before I am in the mood for geometric shapes, I have used the squares and circles before and now the hexagons.

Here is the first one......I've sponged the hexagons with Distress inks, splattered some water. The fragments are embossed with Wow pearl white and some have been given accents with the matching Distress markers. And final some transparent pearl pen accents.

I've combined them with the toadstools of the 'Autumn Poppy' sheet. These fragments are from the Seasonal Fragments.

I had this background also made during our get together with Marja, Shirley and family so I just took a photo of the single background. It's made with Brusho powders and afterwards applying Liquitex Light Molding paste through the Hibiscus stencil of designs by Ryn. I like this molding paste very much because it's a bit transparant and sometimes it picks up colors beneath. You can see also the Ginko leaf stencil used in the background.

The DT members of designs by Ryn received a fun package of Colour Arte to play with! There were Twinkling H2O's and one of the Radiant gels. You can see here what you can do with the Radiant gels!

Well, on to the flowers than.......I die cut the flower and leaves from Leane creative from watercolor paper and painted it with Twinkling H2O's. After coloring and drying I stamped on them with Solar Gold H2O using a texture stamp.

Today I will show you my card which I've made for the Colourstock blog. I had this background made while we were playing during a fantastic day with Marja, Shirley and her family after the event in April.

If you want to see a step by step of the creation of the flower please hop over to the Colourstock blog.

I've coloured the bird with my Copic markers. The background was done with Brusho powders after I had embossed the flowers with clear embossing. I couldn't resist after finishing the card to use some of the gorgeous water droplets from Trickling water set 2.

The beautiful die cut flower and leaves are from Leane Creative. I've worked on the flowers with the Hibiscus stencil and Pan Pastel.

Today something different from the cards and style you know from me.......but sometimes it's good to do something different. Some while ago Leane sent me this flower die and the matching clear stamp set. She also sent some matching paper. Always a good combination, blue and brown shades......

I've used color core paper which I've sanded along the edges. I have die cut 3 circles from the patterned paper and die cut the flowers from watercolor paper. I coloured the large flower with matching inks and stamped also the clear stamp onto the largest flower.

I stamped the matching stamp into the 3 small flowers and the center is also a die and a small stamp.

Today my 2nd take with the Seasonal Fragments, I like these stamps so much! And again a clean and fresh card, easy to create.

This time I was inspired by the circle shape. I have cut out several sizes of circles and stamped two of the flower fragments using Memento Black. I have coloured them with alcohol based markers. Than I draw circles with pencil around it and made a pattern with a fineliner(005). I have used the sentiment from the Amazing Birthday sheet.

Today two cards which I've made for the Colourstock blog. In the last post I've showed you some tangled flowers and I promised to make a background to put them on........well I had so much pleasure in doing that! I really love to tangle and I could go on for hours........I finally found my inspirational source after a long time so I just wanted it to mention:http://juliannakunstler.com

When you take a look on the Colourstock blog you can see the step by step instructions of the first card. The 2nd card is made using the left over flowers.I have used the Creative flowers no. 3 from Crealies. They have large petals and you can easily draw some patterns on them. I also used a swirl die cut and tangled that too.
Hallo allemaal,

This beautiful Dutch sentiment says: a bit of love can be like a drop of water which strengthens the flower to come alive again.

I had some left over flowers and made this black card to put them on. I've embossed the card with a M-Bossabilities folder and added blue and green pearlescent Pan Pastels and for the label some gold metallic Pan Pastel..

Today I want to show you my first play with those gorgeous new fragments stamps from Chocolate Baroque. I had a play with the Seasonal fragments and there is also the Rustic Fragments. If I had to buy them I really could not choose so there is also a great multi-buy available. Treat yourself!

All the fragment/structure stamp sheets from Chocolate Baroque are so versatile and great to play with! For all kind of styles, classic stamping, CAS cards, Mixed media, Art journaling, and much more techniques!

At the last moment I've also created a similar version but with lots of embossed layers......I have embossed the frame also and added some glitter embossing powder here and there for a nice sparkle. I've embossed all the patterns with WOW white pearl and sponged afterwards with Distress inks.

The sentiment is from the Amazing Birthday sheet. In the center of the frame I have triple embossed a square tile and pressed the pattern into it. Finally added some perfect pearl powders.
